Find a different lawyer

I had a consultation with Eric and was disappointed. While Eric appears to try to answer your question, I found that he spent several minutes answering a question that I did not ask (regarding removal of contingencies) -- it was not an issue; and when I asked my key question, he did not appear to kn...ow the answer and then become somewhat arrogant and agitated in my view. I recommend you find another attorney. In fact, I spoke with another attorney (in Irvine) who gave me much better advice and was actually helpful, unlike Eric.

Mortgage Transaction

Eric is a great attorney. We retained Eric as our counsel for our mortgage transaction. In short, he was superb and everyone should retain him. To be more specific, his knowledge of real estate laws, especially the CA building and safety code(s) helped us tremendously. His replies were always in de...tail and he addressed all my concerns, including any hypos I presented to him. It's imperative that you work with an attorney that is knowledgeable - but more importantly, it is a must to find an attorney that is humane and doesn't just focus on the retainer or billable fees. Well, I was lucky because Eric was that attorney.

Thank Goodness for Eric Ching - he was wonderful!

Finding a good lawyer is a very hard thing to do and having a bad one could ruin your life. We found Eric Ching online at a time when I really needed someone calm, knowledgeable and affordable to help me. Eric turned out to be a gem. After a Small Claims Court hearing that I lost he guided me t...hrough the entire process in a calm and professional manner. He turned a nasty experience into something more manageable and less stressful. I would seriously urge you to hire Eric if you are looking for a lawyer who is honest, competent, diligent and incredibly efficient - he even emailed me on a Sunday. Eric also gave me a precious piece of information that really cheered me up, he told me that if someone takes you to Court that record is on file forever, whether you win or loose the Hearing. As my case was with an ex-tenant from now on every prospective landlord will have access to this file when they run a check to decide whether or not to accept this person as a tenant. This makes me feel very good as California landlords have very few ways to protect themselves from tenants who abuse the system and get away with it. I hope to never need to hire an attorney again but if I do I will be calling Eric Ching.

Start Up Consultation

We talked to Eric when starting up our company. He did a great job explaining the process of starting business and educating us on different corporation and tax scenarios. He also helped us with legal texts for our websites, such as Terms of Conditions, Privacy and Refund Policy. Eric was a referral ...that I'm very grateful for. He delivers fast help, 100% professional service, is very knowledgeable and is actually affordable. Worth every penny. That is for sure. I can highly recommend his services!
